Rosscast Episode 90: Anti-Everything!

Twilight is a good movie. Honestly. If doomed teenage romance isn't your thing, fine. But I'm sick of people shitting all over a movie they have no interest in and haven't seen. Why on Earth does this film/book get such reactions from people? I think it's because of contempt for the target audience, 13 year old girls, messing with boys' toys like vampires, and making them all girly. Live with it. A mob of teenage girls is far more powerful than your grown up male disdain and they will crush you. CRUSH YOUUUUUU.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever meet you, I will be sure to avoid snot bubbles and make with the admiration of your work ;)
I love your wan, foppish vampire. 'Ohhh woe is me I'm a vampire....'
I don't worry too much about looking older, and I'm fairly fit so whatever, but I get freaked out at how opportunities get closed off to me as I get older. Oh well, just gotta make sure I make good choices. Someone (a 29 year old) recently told me they thought I was in my mid 20s but I'm not sure if that's cos I look young or just act really immature...
I'm going to see New Moon this weekend, the Twilight sequel. Yes, Let The Right One In is a much superior vampire movie but it's just a much superior movie generally. If you want to come kick me in the neck, hang around the Cineworld in Parnell Street in Dublin on Sunday morning, you'll spot as the one lone thirty-something sadsack among all the crying teenage girls...
I have seen doomed romance films. I like plenty of what would be considered chick flicks. But this movie? The main guy looks like he is dying of AIDS. I dont get why chicks like him so much? The film just looks so damn moody. They all appear to be characters or characters if that makes any sense. Plus, the whole walking around in daylight is a direct assault on all things vampire! I dont care about the young girls that see it but older chicks are camping out for it and that's wrong. Overall, it doesnt look cool. At all.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, the hysterical reaction is...embarrassing, frankly. And yeah, they are cardboard cut-out characters, but I'm ok with that. I don't see the appeal of Pattinson, I think he looks like an elephant stepped on his face. And I'm not as looking forward to the new movie as I would like to be; the new director hasn't got great form, I think they made a big mistake firing the first director. She knew how to tell the story on film. I have a feeling there'll be a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles on this one.
ReplyDeleteI cracked up laghing out loud when I saw the werewolves. I was like "They look so damn cuddly!"
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought! I've only seen one, and I laughed out loud -I could just picture posters of that cute'n'fluffy werewolfie up on the wall of 12 year old girls alongside their unicorn posters and pink horsies. The movie makers know their audience anyway. Ehhh. Thanks for the two great podcasts I got through tonight, I am now off to my bed to fantasise about punching the captain of the French national football (soccer) team in the testicles. Good night.
